9.2

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Full-bodied with medium acidity.

Very dry on the palate with nice complexity and a nice mouthfeel.

Showing black fruits, cedar, licorice, chocolates, dark coffee, pencil lead, earth and peppercorn.

This is a delicious Tempranillo from Ribera Del Duero in Spain. Elegant and rich. Fruit forward and nicely balanced.

Starting to drink beautifully now, and needs a couple of hours to open up properly, so be patient.

Wine Enthusiasts 96 points. Wine Advocate 95 points.

This 5 year old Tempranillo is already complex, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

100% Tempranillo grapes, from 40 year old vines, were aged for 14 months in oak barrels and concrete vats.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$120.

Serious and well made, easy drinking despite the complexity, length and concentration. Ripe cherries and notes of coffee, cocoa and tobacco

Alion is pure seduction, talk about minerality. Another blockbuster from the Vega family. Distinct note of lapsong souchong and black perigord truffle!

Not in the best place right now, I have had quite a few 8-12 years of age and they start to get really into around that age. For a youngster this just seemed off its mark.

I really enjoyed this wine. I think Americans would have to love it. It's got all the boldness of a Corvette or Kate Upton. Only downside for me is that the tannins could be a little more polished, especially two years after its commercial release. WA gave the 2011 94 points.
